NEWS / BABYMETAL’s latest single ‘KARATE’ - which was last month premiered on BBC Radio One’s Annie Mac show before being made available as an iTunes Instant Grat track – now has an accompanying video, the first to be released from the band’s forthcoming ‘METAL RESISTANCE’ album, released via earMUSIC on April 1st aka FOX DAY.

Named after the ancient Japanese Martial Art, ‘KARATE’ is themed on fighting on in the face of adversity and difficult situations, pushing on through hard times and never giving up no matter how hard it might seem. The accompanying video encapsulates this perfectly, with Su-Metal, Yuimetal and Moametal facing off against some mysterious masked and robed foes, who show them that the only people who could ever stop them are the girls themselves.

Their World Tour will come to an end back in Japan at the legendary TOKYO DOME.

‘METAL RESISTANCE’ will be released in three different formats, with a CD, 2LP and special limited edition box set with exclusive T-shirt available. The tracklisting for each format is as follows:
